One of my children was learning Yoruba and at my request, the Yoruba teacher translated a scientific review article which showcases some of Darwin’s Early Research on Plant Behaviour. We can weave science and technology into the stories we tell – Scientific Tales by Moonlight, anyone? Science should not only be reserved for the school. Science – real science, not pseudo-science, must become so familiar to us that we live by it. Yet, genuine dynamic change will occur when we discover scientific answers to problems we are not used to addressing, rather than always relegating our replies to ephemeral conversations and half-baked solutions. We also draw significant technological investment. Nigeria contributes to the global supply of amazing medical personnel. Second, it inquires serious questions about Nigeria’s inability to implement science and technology in the everyday life of people. First, it reveals the fact that we need to have a serious conversation and public policy around parental expectations, and the overemphasis on having a boy child. It has a rich tapestry of beautiful proverbs which warm the heart.Īn Ordinary Wonder does two things for me. An Ordinary Wonder was also awarded Fiction Honors at the 22nd Annual Massachusetts Book Awards. The novel, published by Pegasus Books, is the first book of fiction to win the Maya Angelou Book Award in 2022. I quickly bought a copy and I was not disappointed. When Oyeronke Oyewumi told me about An Ordinary Wonder by Buki Papillon, I was intrigued and eager to read it.
